• SPORTS LESSONS: “(Being an athlete) I learned that even though you may not be the best at first, there’s always ways to improve and surprise even yourself at your improvement. The biggest thing I learned is to trust your abilities.”

* Sports Spotlight students are selected by athletic officials from Maui County high schools and these profiles are compiled by the sports department of The Maui News. The Alexander & Baldwin Foundation makes a $200 donation in honor of each student athlete to their high school’s athletic fund.
